# Enlist in a Proud Profession... Join the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps

Photographic side profile of a young woman in a Cadet Nurse uniform, beret with eagle badge and shoulder patch, beside large blue lettering and a grey panel offering 'a lifetime education free' to qualifying high school graduates. The tell for glittering-generalities is the 'proud profession' headline; the uniform and insignia attach the standing of a service corps to nursing study.
